The morning sun had not yet begun to rise, and in the early hours, summoned by her biological clock, Ling Xi gradually awoke. She looked at the spot beside her where the figure was no longer present, her lips curving into a warm smile before she slowly sat up; her slender, fair hand gently slid over the area where he had lain, tenderness twinkling in the depths of her eyes.
Actually, she really hoped that in all the days to come, no matter when or where, she would be able to wake up in his embrace; because that would truly be a very, very happy thing.
But for now, she couldn't.
She rose swiftly, washed up, and exercised; a new day began once again.
Noon, in the dining hall.
"Ling Xi, what is the Wolf King's favorite food?" At mealtime, the trio Bai Yulin, and Emily and Ian consciously chose to sit at the same table as Ling Xi. Watching her eat quietly, Ji Bai broke the silence.
Still, the conversation never strayed far from wolves.
